A three-year IT security contract is up for grabs to conduct internal and external penetration testing on routers, firewalls and critical servers using a range of independent vulnerability assessment techniques. The winning contractor will be required to carry out the tests at least twice a year. The House of Commons is also looking to buy an intrusion prevention system -- a combination of intrusion detection software and a firewall -- to reduce the risk of denial-of-service attacks, virus outbreaks and Trojan horses. Andy McCue of Silicon.com reported from London. _________________________________________ InfoSec News v2.0 - Coming Soon! http://www.infosecnews.org
